She is hands down the most organized, dedicated, hardworking, and genuinely kind human to work with.” — Abbie & Jake ![ashley-bannister-wedding-planner-headshot-circle-600](https://www.thecoppercollective.co/hubfs/ashley-bannister-wedding-planner-headshot-circle-600.webp "ashley-bannister-wedding-planner-headshot-circle-600") #### Ashley Bannister *Owner & Lead Planner, The Copper Collective Co.* ## My story Hi, I’m Ashley — wedding planner, detail-obsessed coordinator, newlywed, and your soon-to-be favorite wedding-day sidekick. After planning my own wedding, I fell completely in love with the process — the tiny details, the big moments, the beautiful chaos, and all the little things that make a wedding yours. But more than that, going through my own wedding taught me SO much. I learned what matters, what doesn’t, where things can go sideways, and most importantly, that every couple deserves to have someone else take care of the details on their big day. I wanted to take everything I learned from my own experience and use it to make the process easier, more intentional, and more enjoyable for other couples. Because let’s be honest… weddings are bound to be a little chaotic. But with me on board, you’ll never know. My goal? To make sure the only thing you have to worry about on your wedding day is which fruit you want in your mimosa. As an NP by day and a wedding planner by heart, I’m organized, detail-oriented, and a little bit perfectionistic — in the best way. I believe every element of your day should feel elevated, intentional, meaningful, and completely you. When I’m not obsessing over timelines, tablescapes, and the tiny details no one else thought of, you’ll probably find me with my red fox lab Bowen, drinking a vanilla latte somewhere on a beach or exploring in the mountains. So, welcome to The Copper Collective Co. — where we curate the details, control the chaos, and make sure you get to actually enjoy the day you spent so long dreaming about. Let’s make some wedding magic.
